When Madeline approached me, I could hear the urgency in her voice before she even spoke. "Nita’s been missing for a week" she said, her voice tight with worry. "No calls, no messages… nothing!" Her eyes held that rare flash of vulnerability, and for once, she looked less like the razor sharp partner I knew and more like someone struggling to hold herself together.

I took her hand feeling the tension in her grip. "Darling, I’m going to do everything in my power to find out what happened to Nita. You just wait..." I barely finished the sentence before she cut in.

"I’m going too! You’re not talking me out of this one" she declared, already moving toward the bedroom, her suitcase in hand, determination replacing the worry in her eyes.

Two days and a string of dead end leads later, we checked into Las Copas... a resort drenched in opulence and secrets. It was the last known location where Madeline had traced her friend, and one particular photo showing Nita and a man named Monsieur Girard sharing cocktails by the pool, pointed us here.

Now poolside, with the suspect in our sights, we watch in silence tracking his every move and measuring the level of danger.

Madeline will be the bait as she and Nita shared a resemblance that Girard wouldn't overlook. Watching her dry off beside me, steeling herself for the role she was about to play, I felt a mix of pride and worry. This wasn't just another case, and Madeline wasn’t just another partner. She was stepping into dangerous waters for her friend and I was right beside her as much as was possible but ready for anything.
